The heart and soul of this book is problem solving, where each problem is carefully chosen to clarify a concept, demonstrate a technique, or to enthuse. The exercises require relatively extensive arguments, creative approaches, or both, thus providing motivation for the reader. With a unified approach to a diverse collection of topics, this text points out connections, similarities, and differences among subjects whenever possible. This book shows students that mathematics is a vibrant and dynamic human enterprise by including historical perspectives and notes on the giants of mathematics, by mentioning current activity in the mathematical community, and by discussing many famous and less well-known questions that remain open for future mathematicians. Ideally, this text should be used for a two semester course, where the first course has no prerequisites and the second is a more challenging course for math majors; yet, the flexible structure of the book allows it to be used in a variety of settings, including as a source of various independent-study and research projects Nota de contenido: Preface to Instructors -- Preface to Students -- Acknowledgments -- I What's Mathematics -- 1 Let's Play a Game! -- 2 What's the Name of the Game? -- 3 How to Make a Statement?- 4 What's True in Mathematics? -- 5 Famous Classical Theorems -- 6 Recent Progress in Mathematics -- II How to Solve It? -- 7 Let's be Logical! -- 8 Setting Examples -- 9 Quantifier Mechanics -- 10 Mathematical Structures -- 11 Working in the Fields (and Other Structures) -- 12 Universal Proofs -- 13 The Domino Effect -- 14 More Domino Games -- 15 Existential Proofs -- 16 A Cornucopia of Famous Problems -- III Advanced Math for Beginners -- 17 Good Relations -- 18 Order, Please! -- 19 Let's be Functional! -- 20 Now That's the Limit! -- 21 Sizing It Up -- 22 Infinite Delights -- 23 Number Systems Systematically -- 24 Games Are Valuable! -- IV.

The contributions are as varied as the personalities of active mathematicians, but together they show mathematics as a rich and lively field of research. The contributions are written for interested students at the age of transition between high school and university who know high school mathematics and perhaps competition mathematics and who want to find out what current research mathematics is about. We hope that it will also be of interest to teachers or more advanced mathematicians who would like to learn about exciting aspects of mathematics outside of their own work or specialization. Together with a team of young ``test readers'', editors and authors have taken great care, through a substantial ``active editing'' process, to make the contributions understandable by the intended readership Nota de contenido: Preface: What is Mathematics? -- Welcome -- Structure and Randomness in the Prime Numbers -- How to Solve a Diophantine Equation -- From Sex to Quadratic Forms -- Small Divisors: Number Theory in Dynamical Systems -- How do IMO Problems Compare with Research Problems? -- How do Research Problems Compare with IMO Problems? -- Graph Theory Over 45 Years -- Communication Complexity -- Ten Digit Problems -- The Ever-Elusive Blowup in the Mathematical Description of Fluids -- About the Hardy Inequality -- The Lion and the Christian, and Other Pursuit and Evasion Games -- Three Mathematics Competitions -- Complex Dynamics, the Mandelbrot Set, and Newton´s Method En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-19533-4 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=33416 An Invitation to Mathematics : From Competitions to Research [documento electrónico] / SpringerLink (Online service) ; Schleicher, Dierk ; Lackmann, Malte . - Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2011 . - XIV, 220 p. 56 illus., 31 illus. in color : online resource.
